A Timeless Obsession

Are there more constructive things I could be doing with my time? I think not!

Title: Five Things Narcissa Loves About Her Husband
Pairing: Lucius/Narcissa
Rating: Light R

( Five Things Narcissa Loves About Her Husband )

I'm a word nerd. This list is practically miniscule by my standards, but I felt that it needed a place in my journal, so hey. It's in not really in any particular order, and it's sure as hell not complete.

( My favourite words )

So, I've spent pretty much the past three hours slogging through Harry Potter und der Gefangene von Askaban (so, you know, at least I know where the book is headed even if I only have the vocabulary of a four-year old). It's been... interesting, and it got me wondering.

Do any of you wonderful people have some German short-stories you wouldn't mind letting me have a read of? Maybe children's ones? Fairytales? Or be able to point me in the direction of a good website? Really, anything would be appreciated.

So, here it is.

Title: Hell Was Made For Heroes

Recipient: lavillanueva
Rating: NC-17
Pairing: Harry/Scorpius
Summary: This isn't right, this isn't what heroes do... But it's what he does.
Warning: Adultery
Word Count: 2775
Author's Notes: Although I did plan for kink, this story is basically pure sex. At any rate, I hope you like it, despite it's severe lack of anything plot-shaped. Beta'd by K; all remaining mistakes are my fault, of course. (I have been told that this story isn't, in fact, pure sex - apparently I'm once again being prejudiced against my own fic. But that's for the readers to decide - I didn't write it for me <3)

GO OBAMA!!!

There are American flags flying in parts of New Zealand today.

So, no NaNo for me, even though there is an epic L/D fic just clawing at the back of my mind. I'm thinking that, if it sticks around, it might just become a Christmas project. Mind you, it might have been planning to dump me halfway through November, so who knows if I'll still have it.

This is a start of hectic month for me, so I might not be around all that much. Well, I'll be here to catch up on Darkfest and to look for fests to take part in over summer (when I will have, joy of joys, real free time! I salivate just thinking about it) but other than that, I've got tons of stuff to do. Everything will wind down on the 29th, though, which is good. That leaves me one whole day in November where I can do absolutely nothing. Score!

Other than that, I need coffee. I need lots and lots of coffee... Why is there never any in the house when I really need it?

So, ah, yes... Helen whatshername playing Narcissa Malfoy. Disregarding the horrible hairdo in the latest picture, I just have to ask...

Not pretty enough for Lucius?

I say yes, and I'd say it in ten meter tall letters, too, if only you could see it. Mind you, is anyone? (Haha, no prizes for my first reaction to that question - I will go to the special hell, yes? We will have parties there?)

Ever had one of those days when it seems like it was an utterly stupid idea to get out of bed? Oh man, today has been one of those - I seem to have hit a snag when it comes to thinking and moving at the same time. I honestly have no idea how many things I've walked into, or dropped, or accidentally thrown across the room (mainly pens for the last one - you know, when you move your hand back and momentarily forget to keep hold of it, so that it flies through the air and hits someone else in the head? No? Just me?).

Haven't had any coffee for a week, because I seem to avoid the supermarket. Am feeling symptoms of withdrawal still... perhaps not a good sign?

I have my flash-drive! W00t! I think I shall strap it to my wrist and carry it with me everywhere... or put it back on my keyring. Either or, really.

Means that my X-fest story has been sent in, and now the only thing I need to worry about it writing Darkfest, my fic for Melusina, and drabbles! And on that note, I'll post the drabbles in lots, just to make it a bit easier. Say, five at a time or something like that? First lot should be coming relatively soon.

I am in the most odd mood. Honestly, it's 9pm and I've just been overcome with the urge to clean my room from top to bottom and sort out all those metre-high stacks of paper cluttering it. What on earth is going on? Perhaps I've been drugged with something...

Still working on my darkfest fic, and my story for Melusina. Both are coming along quite well, and the deadlines are nice and far away, so things are looking very good indeed. Still can't send in my Cross-fest fic, because the damn pen-drive went and got itself locked in someone else's car (why oh why! I was so close, so close, to getting my baby back today!) Suppose it gives me more time to tweak it, but still!

I need muse boosting, so...

1. Pick 20 of your favourite movies, provide quotes.
2. Post them in your journal for everyone to guess.
3. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.

Drabble for everyone who guesses correctly, of anything you want.

Oh, and it would be better if you didn't use search engines, because that's not really the point.

( Madness is like gravity, all it needs is a little… push. )

Wow, I feel like I haven't been on here in months. Ugh, busy, busy, busy... I have German Conversation in two days (oooh, oh, watch! I can panic and flail and procrastinate all at once! It's a skill, I tell you - a skill), and my room has been taken over by paper (err... more taken over, at least) because there's so much stuff I have to do. Mind you, I have been squeezing in copious amounts of James Bond (mmm, Casino Royale is nice and Phantom Of The Opera... what can I say? The lure of hot love-scorned men cannot be put aside.

Still working on Cross-Fest fic, albeit rather slowly. It's coming along.

Okay, so I just watched Phantom of the Opera for the... eighteenth time? Sounds about right. So, yeah, pretty obvious that I adore this movie (even if Gerard Butler will forever be connected to irish music, dead lovers, and 'this is SPARTA'). What a sexy, sexy Phantom! The only problem? I have a tendency to spend most of the movie going 'take her back to your lair and sex her up, boy! Ravage her, raaaavaaage her!'

Because, ooooh man, is that girl blind!

I watched it with my mother (somehow she still hasn't seen the whole thing, and I've watched it about five times this week... how is this working?) and even she was like 'well, just ignore the fact he's killing people, cause he's lonely and he loves you and he's omgsofuckinghot. Piiiick him!'

Favourite parts? Still the 'I am your angel of music' lines (I always shiver... very hypnotic - I'd follow you down a creepy tunnel, Gerard!), the 'have you forgotten your angel?' line, when she's at her daddy's grave. God, his voice on that one line is just... mmmm. Yes. And the 'point of no return' song. My favourite song/piece of music in the entire movie, and that's really saying something.

Course, now the Lucius is my head is wearing half a mask and looking very dashing. And rather like a highwayman <3

The bad thing about being a literary geek? I've found $356 worth of books I want on fishpond, and I've only been looking at art books and yaoi...

My original Tarot fic has grown too big to finish (or, in a slightly more correct sense, too big to finish to an appropriate level of skill when considering the time limit) - I've started something else (heh... may or may not come back to bite me in the arse) which is also Lucius/Harry and decidedly less gigantic. Man, I have like fifteen days to write this - which reminds me...

Anyone want to beta it when I'm done? I'm posting on the 22nd, so depending on how long it takes me the timeframe might be quite short. Maybe a week, if I write fast?

In other news, HP Darkfest is going to be HOT! Ahaha, I've already started mine, and I don't even have a prompt yet. But, considering I'm writing excerpts with no defined plot, I figure it'll work. More Malfoys, but no Malfoycest (and no, I have not had a brain transplant, it honestly just won't fit)

Once I've got these four out of the way (they should take me through to November, which is my crazily busy month - no NaNo for me, sadly) then I totally have an epic Lucius/Draco to write. Hmm, maybe I'll do it over my loooong Xmas break? Spend almost three months writing incest, while traveling the country, kicking my heels up, and painting? Sounds like fun. Which probably means something will come along and ruin it, like being needed at work or some other such evil plot.

Ohh man, I honestly have no words to describe how cool The Dark Knight is... just, gahhh. I felt like I'd melted into the seat by the end of it.

Wow.

(Also, fuck, but when I saw William Fitchner, right I start, I nearly screamed... and, also, is it just me or is the Joker is disturbingly sexy? In a kind of psychotically freaky way? )

So I'm writing... three stories at once? Oh, no, wait, four.

There's my Tarot fic, which is growing somewhat steadily. My cross-gen exchange piece, which is currently about three paragraphs, but seems to actually be heading somewhere. My Livelongnmarry fic for Melusinahp, which is also a few paragraphs (I've started somewhere in the middle) but, unlike the former, is most definitely going somewhere. And my fic for HP Darkfest, which I just couldn't hold in for any longer and, seriously, I have pretty much the entire thing planned out, I just need to fit it in around whatever prompt I get for it. Because there's no way I'm not signing up - not when I have such a ridiculously evil, manic little plotbunny currently sitting in the corner, gnawing on some suspiciously human-looking imaginary bones.

I'm not sure how this is all working so smoothly, but I damn well hope it doesn't stop!

So, ah, feeling tipsy... probably shouldn't type, who knows how much sense I'll make, ey?

Tarot fic is being weird. Harry doesn't seem to care that he has kids, which is odd. He needs to think about them more... mhmmm, yes, he does. I think I may also be setting up a cracktrastic spoof of a Lucius/Harry fic, but oh well, I'm not going to start again now. Written too damn much.

I really, really wanna watch Season 1 of Bones, cause I missed loads of it when it was on tv (thought it was just another gross show with dead people in it... and it is, in a way, but oh so much cooler, and it doesn't make me want to vomit, so that's always good. Plus there's enough sexual tension in the show to power a large city, which makes me love it even more...)

Ummm. I think this post was supposed to have a point, but I appear to have lost it. Hehe.
